1 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2 And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.

Matthew 19:3
3 The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

Matthew 19:4-6
4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

Matthew 19:7
7 They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”

Matthew 19:8-9
8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality (fornication), and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”

Matthew 19:10
10 His disciples said to Him, “If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”

Matthew 19:13-15
13 Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” 15 And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.

Matthew 19:16
16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”

Matthew 19:17
17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

Matthew 19:18-19
18 He said to Him, “Which ones?”

Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ 19 ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

Matthew 19:20
20 The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?”

Matthew 19:21
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

Matthew 19:22
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

Matthew 19:23-24
23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

Matthew 19:25
25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

When Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
Great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.

The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and to Him:
“Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

Jesus answered and to them:
“Have you not read that He who made (created) them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?
So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

Genesis 1:27
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Genesis 2:24
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be[a] joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

They to Jesus:
“Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”

Jesus to them:
“Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”

His disciples to Jesus:
“If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”

But Jesus to His disciples:
“All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given:
For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it.”

Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.
But Jesus:
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
He laid His hands on them and departed from there.

Now behold, one came and to Jesus:
“Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”

So Jesus to him:
“Why do you call Me good?
No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

He to Jesus:
“Which ones?”

Jesus:
“‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

The young man to Jesus:
“All these things I have kept [g]from my youth. What do I still lack?”

Jesus to Him:
“If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

Then Jesus to His disciples:
“Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished:
“Who then can be saved?”

But Jesus looked at them and to them:
“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Then Peter answered and to Him:
“See, we have left all and followed You.
Therefore what shall we have?”

So Jesus to them:
“Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel.
Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.
But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
